In plain English: who. lets you create a lightweight identity card, be found by name or handle, share a QR code, and connect with people you meet. Strangers only see a limited preview unless you choose to make your full profile public or accept their connection request. Anything you put on your profile can be seen by whoever your visibility settings allow, and anyone with a link or QR code can forward, screenshot, or share it — don’t post anything you wouldn’t want a wider audience to see. These Terms explain the rules for using the service; our
Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how it’s used.
This document is a founder-drafted starting point, not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction review it before public launch.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service. who. involves public and searchable profiles, real-world meetups, and person-to-person connection features, and we’ve chosen the most protective age policy available to us as a result.
The Service is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, anyone under the age of 13, and no one under 13 may use the Service under any circumstances. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at legal@getwho.app.
By using the Service, you represent that you meet these age requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
5. User Content
You retain ownership of the content you submit to the Service (your “User Content”), including your profile information and photos. By submitting User Content, you grant who. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content solely as necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Service (for example, showing your profile to other users per your visibility settings).
You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the necessary rights to post it and that it does not violate these Terms or any law or third-party right. We may remove or restrict access to any User Content that we believe, in our discretion, violates these Terms, harms other users, or harms the Service.
7. Connections and Messaging
who. lets you request to connect with, and potentially message, other users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users, whether on or off the Service. We do not verify all users’ identities, backgrounds, or intentions, and we make no guarantees about the conduct, safety, or honesty of any user.
Use good judgment before sharing personal information, meeting someone in person, or otherwise acting on information from the Service. Messages you send through the Service are stored to provide the messaging feature and are not end-to-end encrypted; we may access, monitor, remove, or report content as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, enforce these Terms, or comply with law, or where we believe in good faith it is necessary to prevent harm.
8. Safety Disclaimer
who. is a tool for introductions and identity context — a way to give someone a fuller sense of who you are before or after you meet. It is not a background-check, verification, or safety service, and we do not verify the identity, intentions, or trustworthiness of any user.
We are not responsible for what happens between users, including any in-person meeting, relationship, business dealing, transaction, or communication. You are solely responsible for your own safety and decisions, including whether, when, and how to meet or communicate with anyone you encounter through the Service. If you ever feel unsafe, contact local law enforcement.
14. Termination
You may stop using the Service, or delete your account, at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Service, at our discretion, for violation of these Terms, suspected abuse or risk to other users, legal or regulatory reasons, or other business reasons.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, and 17) will survive.
16. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WHO. AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) $100 USD.
